saturday sightseeing



The theme for the hunt this week is smelly. I don't have any smelly pictures and since I wouldn't enjoy taking one for the theme nor looking at such pictures , I decided not to participate this week... if you posted a mild smelly pic, let me know!


This is a long weekend in Spain due to Columbus Day celebrated on October 12th. We are having splendid weather and I will show you where we spent Friday later on but for the time being I will leave you with two images: the vineyards behind our beach, home of the Spanish cava (champagne) and our long beach (5km / 3.5 miles) as seen driving down the hills yesterday to come home...! Please note the blue skies... I am always amazed, it's the intensity, the light, the pictures cannot capture the wonderful colors!

  1. That could be a "smelly" picture ! Just change the text and say the wine yards are rotten ! I am sure you must have "smelly" pictures ! Your feet or shoes for example.
    But joke apart, your pictures are beautiful and the sky a dream !!

  22. Mine was a pretty oblique reference to smelly and no horrible pictures:)

    Yours are lovely photos, and really much, much better than any smelly ones. Sorry I haven't been visiting your beautiful week of colour but real life prevailed.
